The ultra-compact IK Multimedia iRig MIDI is a standard core MIDI interface that connects any MIDI compatible device to the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Musicians, sound techs, producers, lighting technicians, audio engineers and music enthusiasts can use the iRig MIDI to hook-up MIDI keyboards, drum machines, drum pads, synthesizers, pedal boards and many other MIDI instruments and devices. The iRig MIDI comes with the free SampleTank app, but you can use your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to get hundreds of other apps including GarageBand. Once you've got the app you want, the iRig MIDI lets you use that app with the MIDI device you've connected via the iRig MIDI. The connected MIDI device can control whichever MIDI-compatible app you choose. Plus, you can also use iOS apps to control external MIDI equipment such as sound modules, digital audio workstations (DAWs), and even lighting systems. The iRig MIDI makes all of this possible with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch!

The iRig MIDI features three MIDI ports: one input, one output and one thru jack. The other side of the iRig is equipped with a male Apple 30-pin dock connector, which plugs right into your Apple mobile device's docking interface. The iRig's three ports can be connected to your MIDI devices using the two included 5.2' (1.6 m) cables. One end plugs into the iRig port and the other end plugs into your MIDI device with a 5-pin DIN MIDI interface. The iRig even features dual LED lights that indicate MIDI activity on the IN and OUT ports. There's also a micro USB port on the iRig MIDI, which connects to any standard USB power supply (USB cable included). This means that the iRig can stay fully powered no matter how long your sessions last.

iRig MIDI Includes Two Free Apps Available from the App Store

iRig MIDI Recorder App (Free)

iRig MIDI Recorder is a simple app that can be used to record and playback any MIDI sequence from and to any kind of MIDI-equipped musical instrument. It's the perfect companion to the iRig MIDI Core MIDI interface. The iRig MIDI Recorder App allows you to: record realtime MIDI performances from keyboards, pedal-boards, drum machines, drum pads or any other type of MIDI controller; record data dumps from your MIDI devices in order to backup and restore their contents and settings on your mobile device or to another unit; monitor the incoming MIDI signal to troubleshoot a MIDI setup or check what is being transmitted by MIDI devices

SampleTank Pro-Quality Sound & Groove Module App (Free)

The SampleTank App for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is the mobile version of IK's SampleTank for Mac and PC. Finally, the leading virtual sound workstation for the studio is available for your iOS mobile device. It's designed for live performance as well. The SampleTank App is a four-part multi-timbral instrument with a sound set of over 750MB of samples for over 400 acoustic, electric and electronic instruments (including a selection of the best workstation sounds from SampleTank, orchestral sounds from Miroslav Philharmonik and synths sounds from SampleMoog) plus a selection of over 900 melodic and rhythmic patterns that span every musical genre. SampleTank for iOS brings the power of the most popular computer sound module to your iOS device. It even includes 20 studio quality insert effects that are applied to each individual instrument (up to four insert effects per part). These effects provide the best models of both classic and modern analog or digital outboard gear

I use this product primarily at church for some of the synth/sounds with my keyboard. But I use it more heavily as a cheap drum machine for click tracks.

It is really easy to use. Simply plug into the MIDI Out on your board/controller and plug that into the MIDI in on the iRig. And once you have a MIDI enabled app opened, it is good to go. No software install or anything like that.

If you are new to MIDI, like I am, know that your sound will be produced the iOS device, not the keyboard...per se. So you would want to run a line from your headphone jack to you speaker.

I would recommend the minimum setup (what I have).-4 channel mixer (this allows you to manipulate the sound and possible the EQ of the iOS device better than the volume button on the iOS device.

-3mm stereo to 1/4" stereo Y cable...plug this into your iOS device and the Y cable into the mixer. Now one thing I noticed, for me at least, the sound comes out distorted unless you pan left or right on the mixer. This is weird but useful. Let's say you are running a click track but want to layer the sound...to build up. Make your light stuff pan center and the stack your heavy pan right. Turn the nob pan left and you get only the light, but turn it pan right and you have stacked sound.

-1/4" stereo Y to 1/4" stereo Y cable...run your keyboard into a different channel on the mixer. Now you can play keyboard sounds AND MIDI sounds at the same time. You can also mix the volume are completely mute on source altogether.

-Then a line to run from the mixer's output to either speakers or an separate mixer.

The only two things that I don't like...well...1.5 things:1. It doesn't sit flush in the iPad as it does with an iPhone or iPod. It works fine, and given the way it sits, it's pretty stable, but I see the weight of the cords pulling it down a little bit so it isn't 100% stable. The other thing...or "half issue" is the fact that it is kinda lightweight/flimsy. No metal casing...straight plastic. So you need to make sure you take good care of it.

But it is great for live sound. I love it and I think it is way easier than going through all of that camera dock stuff people are doing. The added benefit is the fact that it keeps your device charged while using it...

***NOTE ABOUT CHARGING*** They include this rinky-dink micro-USB cable in the box that's like 4 inches long...mild exaggeration. They say that this is for charging purposes and to ensure the device doesn't mess up, blah, blah, blah. I tried plugging a regular micro-USB phone charger in, and just like they said...it didn't work. Solution? If you have you iPad/iPhone/iPod wall charger (block), get one of those longer thick micro-USB cables. I'm guessing the thicker one carries more current to power the iPad. Problem solved. But it will be a nightmare trying to work with that little cable.

Irig works, kinda...

Used this to send midi into an Ipad. I got it to work only after downloading and running the midi monitor app. (should've siad that in the startup instructions)

If you have a new Ipad you need a 30 pin to lighting adapter. That plus the iRig adapter makes for 3 inches of plastic sticking out of the Ipad interface. Not real sleek.

I actually abandoned ship with the whole thing after a week because the Ipad Apps kept crashing on me for live use. I think the Irig works, but the apple midi capabilites on tablets haven't quite caught up.

Got this for my iPad mini and had to purchase an expensive genuine Apple adaptor cable for the charging-while-plugged in feature to work. That said, it does what it sets out to do with midi in/out but it has some measurable jitter issues when trying to feed a signal back into the iPad. Not sure if this is due to the iRig or the iPad itself. Probably the latter.

The item arrived as expected, fast order process, and device is very good. I used it next day it arrived in a concert and worked fine. The only issue I got is that when you used a sustain pedal and change the sound while the sustain pedal is pressed, the previous sound stay activated until you select it again and release the sustain pedal. This is something that has to be fixed. Otherwise, product works fine.

The iRig MIDI Core is the best way to connect some Ipad to a DAW (The wireless connections are always bringing some latency). I use iRig to create a control surface for Cubase made of 6 iPads running simultaneously 48 tracks (total recall) on a powerful PC through 2 Motu MicroLite midi interface, . The iPad's app working perfectly in a wired configuration is "Daw Remote HD". IRig Midi Core also allows you to charge the iPads at the same time.Stunning!!!I highly recommend this product:)

For oustanding MIDI traffic control on IPAD or Iphone this does the trick. Ive tested it on both devices with various soft synths and works great. I would give it 5 stars, but every once in a while I have to I seem to lose connectivity and have to quickly reset the device (rare) not sure if it is my midi rig or the device. glad I bought it. now I dont have to bring a laptop to many gigs..
